I think that any in-dialog places where p->refer may be allocated, the previous p->refer should be freed. In addition to the transmit_refer() change you have, this would mean that handle_request_refer() and get_also_info() should free p->refer and then allocate a new one.

This seams reasonable to me.  Now that this will change existing behaviour, I want to run it through testsuite tests/channels/SIP.  Once that passes I'll update the review.  Unless I'm misunderstanding, the call to sip_refer_alloc from handle_request_invite should destroy any existing p->refer as well?
